David Austin English Roses The Lady Gardener

I could not find of the lady Gardner anywhere… Not at David Austin’s and not at any of the other well-known mail order rose vendors.There is no denying that the price you pay, about $70, which includes shipping, is high. Having said that please look at the first picture. That is The lady Gardner, which just arrived today, a few hours ago. The second rose, cost $35, from a different mail order vendor, plus $25 shipping. I was assured that $35 rose was a minimum of 18 months old. Ha ha Ha ha ha. If you look at the canes in the first photograph you can see clearly The size which is undoubtedly several years old. The last picture is the beautiful rose that bloomed today. It is from the same vendor, it is the same Rose, the lady Gardner, and I am absolutely delighted. Worth every penny!

I'd like to love this rose bush but it has a creamy white flower that isn't even close to the color shown and described. I'm going to give it until next year just in case it needs time to run true to color, then it's going to have to give up its place in my garden to a bush with a flower I expected.

I received the rose right away, and it was in excellent shape. I am keeping it watered, and it is thriving, bushy and green. It has yet to flower--I think I'll have to wait for next spring/ summer. But I am very pleased.

My roses are finally blooming and are not what was pictured. It's a very pretty white, almost like pink color. But not peachy at all, I think they had the species labeled wrong.

I purchased mine at Heirloom Roses (online). If that is where you purchased yours they will be happy to discuss the rose and what to expect and when. Some roses take 2 full seasons to reach their full potential and I've had that experience with a few of my roses, especially when it comes to rose size and scent. I have not had any problem with rose color though past the first growing season. Good luck with all your roses!
